Peas for pennies. Greens for dollars. Cornbread for Gold. We love the Southern tradition of eating a carefully selected plate of deliciousness on New Year’s Day. Read on for Five Lucky Recipes to make all your wishes come true.
1-Garlic Jalapeno Black Eyed Peas
Not just for New Year’s Day – we enjoy black eyed peas all year round. This recipe gets big flavor from Garlic Jalapeno Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Red Bean Seasoning – both are warm, spicy, aromatic and delicious. Enjoy these black eyed peas on their own for a meal or pair up with roast chicken. Either way, it’s satisfying comfort.
2-Crawfish Cornbread
Sweet cornbread meets spicy Voo Doo Blend in this delicious pan of scrumptiousness. This recipe bakes up into a tall pan of cornbread that’s delicious on the plate as a side. We love those sweet nibbles of corn alongside the meaty Louisiana crawfish.
3-Spicy Corn Spoonbread
Pantry staples come together in this simple dish that gets a spicy upgrade from our Chackbay Blend. Buttery and sweet with a nice kick. Grab a spoon!
4-Jollof Rice with Curried Chicken & Greens
The Jollof Rice with its pleasantly scorched, crunchy bottom is a great base for this curry-spiced chicken and quick-sauteed greens. Gorgeous to look at, delicious to eat – we just love everything about this dish. We wrote about this dish in our 2017 Holiday Lookbook: Celebrate Tradition. The tradition of Kwanza is all about unity, determination, responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity and faith – those are the seven principles. Those are seven principles we can definitely get behind.
5-Sausage, Kale & Potato Skillet
Simple and sure to please, this suppertime skillet is just the thing when time isn’t on your side. Not only is this a quick meal, it also delivers protein, green leafy nutrition and satisfying starchy carbs. Our Main Street Market Blend works perfectly in this dish. It’s a great compliment to the smoky sausage, and it was just meant for potatoes. Oh, and kale likes it, too!
